The Boombox 3 convinces in both versions with its chic appearance and high-quality details as well as pleasant, powerful sound. There are only nuances to complain about in the sound: the Boombox 3 is a little loud in the basses, the WiFi version in the upper mids. In the end, both boomboxes get good marks...

Rank 1 out of 14Stiftung WarentestBluetooth-Lautsprecher im Test - Starke Boxen und fipsige KistenReleaseMay 2023

A powerful bass, easily audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: Stiftung Warentest expects a test winner speaker to be easy to use, to have a long-lasting battery and to offer practical additional functions.
